Q. Why do the price sheets show firm prices only for component
kits and not for completely finished yachts?
A. All the fully finished yachts that we build are customized
to meet the needs of the individual owner. This means that the
level of finish and the quantity of the equipment installed
on each yacht varies considerably, with a consequent difference
in price. We are able to quote firm prices on fully or partially
completed yachts after discussions with a prospective owner.
Q. Can I get any layout that I want?
A . The answer is a qualified yes. All Spencer yachts are custom
built and tailored to the tastes and requirements of the individual
purchaser. We work with the owners and develop custom interior
and deck layout plans that meet their needs and desires.
The limitation on freedom of design is that certain structural
standards have to be met in order to ensure a strong and seaworthy
vessel. During the design process we ensure that these standards
are met.
Q. Can I choose and have my favorite brands of gear and equipment
installed on my boat?
A. Yes. We have accounts with most of the major equipment suppliers
and we can supply most requested items at very competitive prices.
Q. How long will it take to build my yacht after I place
my order?
A. This depends on the stage of completion that the owner requires.
Hull and deck kits can be produced in 2 to 4 months; a completely
finished boat will take from 6 to 10 months.
Q. You normally install Isuzu engines in the yachts that
you build, can I have a different make of engine, such as a
Yanmar, installed in my boat?
A. Yes. We can supply and install the engine of your choice.
